Annabelle Butler Returning to Miracle Valley For The Last Time
To those who are acquainted with Miracle Valley, the
name Annabelle Butler would be well remembered.
Sister Butler and her family joined with Rev. A. A.
Allen in the early 1960s.
She is listed in the Archives as being Miracle
Magazine Supervisor. She helped edited Brother
Allen's Miracle Magazine, a magazine that went out
to several hundred of thousands of subscribers each
month.
Sister Butler went home to be with Jesus February
22. Her family is honoring her wish which was to be
interned in the Miracle Valley Cemetery.
Her son Mark, along with her husband, will be arriving
with her body Monday, February 27. Those who like
to join with Brother Butler and Mark, are welcome to
telephone the Miracle Valley Office at (520) 366-
1000 and obtain further details.
Due to lack of proper burial insurance, as well as
additional expenses of bringing his mother's body to
Miracle Valley, Mark Butler is in dire need of
finances.
If anyone would like to make a financial
contribution to the Butler Family, call the Miracle
Valley Business Office at (520) 366-5559. You can
put a contribution on your Visa, Master Card, etc.
All monies received will be accounted for and
presented to the Butler Family to assist with their
expenses.
Dr. Melvin Harter has informed Miracle Valley
Cemetery not to charge the Butler Family for their
burial plot.
Jerry Hensley, traveling across the nation in his 18
Wheeler, learned of the passing of Ssiter Annabelle
Butler. He called the Miracle Valley Office and
requested that $250 be placed on his credit card.
Sister Susanna Kelly says that Brother and Sister
Butler were very close friends of Rev. A. A. Allen.
According to Susanna Kelly, a co-worker in the
1950s, Sister Butler was a very prominent person
who travelled with Rev. A. A. Allen. She was a very
good and a God-fearing lady. She was well liked,
honest, well competent, very efficient in her work
and a person who never complained. Sister Kelly
really appreciates having the opportunity of knowing
the Butler Family, and especially Annabelle Butler.
Brother Butler worked with Harvey Cabe in A. A.
Allen's Print Shop in Miracle Valley.
Wilma (Brown) Atchinson says that Sister Butler was
a good worker, loved the Lord, and was a very
dedicated woman who love God and Miracle Valley.

Greetings!
I want to keep you up-to-date with events that are
occurring at Miracle Valley.
First of all, Mark Butler is bringing his mother's body
for burial in our Miracle Valley Cemetery. The
cemetery contains the bodies of many of the saints
of God who lived and worked at Miracle Valley,
especially during the Allen Ministry. Rev. A. A. Allen
and his wife are both in the Miracle Valley Cemetery
as well.
Also, I wanted to share with you a couple of special
individuals I had the privilege of meeting. Ada Tye
and Joe Hilliard. They were both involved with the
Allen Ministry at Miracle Valley and in the Allen
Campaigns.
Next, I want you to know of the new development
that is underway in our area. The Valley will be
busier than ever before with new residents moving
into the area.
And then in closing, I want to share with you some
archive information that is involved in a special
course offered here at the Bible College entitled,
"The Life and Ministry of Rev. A. A. Allen." If
you ever get the chance to take this course, I am
sure you will thoroughly enjoy it.

| Sister Ada Tye |
| |
During a recent trip through Dallas, TX, Dr. Harter
had an opportunity to visit with Sister Ada
Tyssowski, commonly known by all as Sister Tye.
Rev. A. A. Allen had requested that Sister Tye
relocate from Hawaii to Miracle Valley and help him
with his Bible School.
Ada Tye served as Dean of Women in 1960 at the
Miracle Valley Training Center. Later, she was the
Director of the Miracle Revival Fellowship, a group of
ministers whose membership reached a little over
10,000. Sister Tye is on many of the A. A. Allen
Telecast programs, being used of God to prophesy
Currently, Sister Tye resides in Dallas where she has
been for the past 20 years. She still promotes the
Baptism of the Holy Ghost, especially in the local
church she attends.
Sister Tye continues to have a heart for Miracle
Valley. She would love to return to Miracle Valley,
and does plan to donate her many Artifacts back to
Miracle Valley.
Prior to his leaving, Sister Tye prayed with Dr. & Mrs.
Harter, asked God's blessings upon them, and then
she blessed Miracle Valley again. The Spirit of the
Lord came upon her and she prophesied that God
was going to use Miracle Valley in a great way and
that God will bless Dr. Harter as he fulfills the will of
God for Miracle Valley.

Dr. Harter met with Joe Hilliard in Virginia. Joe is very
interested in what God is doing at Miracle Valley. He
plans to relocate to Miracle Valley and help wherever
he is needed.
Brother Hilliard travelled extensively with Rev. A. A.
Allen, working close with him as well as traveling and
helping in Allen's Miracle & Healing Crusades
throughout the United States.
Joe tells Dr. Harter that Rev. A. A. Allen was a
genuine Christian and a great man of God. He
thoroughly enjoyed his serving with Brother Allen for
many years.

| New Development at Miracle Valley |
| |
New development is underway in the Miracle Valley
area. A beautiful modern development is being
implemented two miles west of Miracle Valley Bible
College. Three hundred thousand dollar plus homes
are planned for the development.
Why is this happening? Because the Valley is
such a beautiful place to live. Surrounded by lovely
mountains, the Valley allows people to live in a
beautiful area with a lovely year-round climate. No
natural disasters are known to have occurred in the
area. In addition, there are no tornados, hurricanes,
earthquakes, etc. It is a lovely place to live.
Several thousand people will relocate to the
beautiful Miracle Valley area. Dr. Harter states that
this will enable Miracle Valley Church, as well as the
Bible College, to reach many people for Jesus Christ
as they move into the Valley.

| Over 500 New Homes To Be Constructed |
| |
Over five hundred new homes will be constructed
just a few miles west of the Bible College on the
other side of the highway.
The Miracle Valley area is rapidly growing. Land for
sale is becoming scarce in the general area, and
what is selling, is selling for a much higher price than
a few years ago.
A new grocery store, pharmacy, post office, and etc.
are planned for the Valley.

| Allen's First Ministry Building in Dallas |
| |
From the Miracle Valley Archive Department. This
fact is included in the Miracle Valley Bible College
course entitled, "The Life and Ministry of Rev. A.
A. Allen."
In the early 1950sa. A. A. Allen leased this building
for the A. A. Allen Revivals, Inc during his first year in
Dallas, TX. The number on the building, 2008 can
still be viewed after some 60 years.
Dr. Harter stands in front of the building with his Bible.

| Allen's 2nd Office Headquarters in Dallas, TX |
| |
After one year, the Allen Revivals, Inc. grew so large
that it needed additional space.
A. A. Allen then purchased this building on Illinois
Street in Dallas. (The original building was half
the size with the original building on the right side).
The Allen Revivals grew to such an extent that the
building was doubled in size. Rev. Harvey Smith, as
well as other members of the Allen team, assisted in
the laying of the blocks to the building. (The above
picture shows the completed building that was
doubled in size with the Allen Ministry.)
Today, the building has been modified to meet its
current needs, nevertheless, looking closely, a
person can see where the original doors and windows
existed.
It was from this location that Allen relocated his
headquarters to Miracle Valley, Arizona in 1958. This
information is presented in the Miracle Valley Bible
College course entitled, "The Life and Ministry of
Rev. A. A. Allen."
Dr. Harter is seen standing in front of the old A. A.
Allen headquarters building in Dallas, TX.
